Dear Resident:

Re: Cycling Facilities on New Street between Martha Street and Guelph Line

Please be advised that the Transportation Services Department has prepared a report recommending the reconfiguration of New Street between Martha Street and Guelph Line to include two through vehicle lanes, a centre two way left turn lane with enhanced sharrows and an on-road bike lane as per Option 3 in report TS-08-14.

This report will be considered by the Development and Infrastructure Committee at its meeting on Monday, June 16, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers. The staff report will be available on the City’s website at www.burlington.ca/agendasandminutes approximately one week before the meeting.

Members of the public who wish to address the Development and Infrastructure Committee may register as a delegation by using our online registration form at www.burlington.ca/delegations . You may also print the registration form and mail, fax (905-335-7675), hand deliver it to the Clerks Department or register by telephone 905-335-7600 ext. 7458, no later than 9:30a.m the day of the meeting.

If you have any questions, concerns or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I was inspired to seek public office because I believe, like so many of you, “I can do something about that” on the issues we face. As councilor, my role is to take a stand on what’s best for residents and go to bat for it. Pushback is inevitable from those who don’t have the community’s interests at heart. I will stand with you and for you, to achieve the best interests of our city, without caving to unacceptable compromise in the name of consensus.
